Barack Obama actually said...

"Any health care reform plan must make sure every American has preventative care that prevents disease and disability."

"President-elect Obama recognizes that many of you have been working for many years on these issues and that any effort at reform will require very close collaboration with Congress."

"We have launched a very powerful program to help jump-start lending to small businesses."

"Health care reform is a moral imperative, an economic imperative, and a fiscal imperative for our Nation."
